It is seldom that we are otherwise than by affliction awakened to a sense of our imbecility, or taught to know how little all our acquisitions can conduce to safety or quiet, and how justly we may inscribe to the superintendence of a higher power those blessings which in the wantonness of success we considered as the attainments of our policy and courage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In examinations, the foolish ask questions the wise cannot answer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16355]]></link><description><![CDATA[In examinations, the foolish ask questions the wise cannot answer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Liberty is being free from the things we don't like in order to be slaves of the things we do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Liberty is being free from the things we don't like in order to be slaves of the things we do like.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It may be unpleasant, but you can give a very hard signal which isn't going to hurt people as such ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42458]]></link><description><![CDATA[It may be unpleasant, but you can give a very hard signal which isn't going to hurt people as such but is going to at least give a chance of registering in the minds of the Iranian people that what their president is doing is unacceptable to the international community.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Violence and smut are of course everywhere on the airwaves.
